Music suggestion!

[Denmo]

I... couldn't disagree with your wall'o'text more! But I guess it's a personal opinion?

Considering that he DID compose off a few pictures and little guidelines, it's impressive tha all his tracks are deserving of an above average score, some even attaining 10/10.

Huh wha? Who rated each individual track in XIV? Was it an official published media, or just a group of player's opinions?

The overall bombastic nature gets some getting used to, but it grows and becomes an excellent listen.

I get the feeling that you haven't listened to much else since you started playing XIV.

So I hugely disagree with the notion of repetitiveness you have made, Denmo, in regards to the tracks.

But wait, didn't your previous paragraph just provide examples of tracks that are repetetive?

No track gas had the same repetitive nature I found in Sauromogue Champaign, Heaven's Tower, Buccaneers, Castle Zvahl (Yes, even though it's a work of art, the four note descending chord is VERY repetitive) from FFXI. I have other examplea across the FF series, but the biggest offender is FFX-2 (Thunder Plains, Chocobo, Bikanel Island, Bevelle's Secret, Tension variation #87255 etc)

Those tracks are all catchy and come to mind just by mentioning the name. And many of them were composed by Uematsu. And you hate them all? I don't get it. You and I seem to have completely opposing tastes.

And just how do you define "repetitive nature"? I define it as a song that repeats constantly, to the point of annoyance. If a song doesn't break up the tedium of its repetition with a little variation, then your brain says, "Wait, this is just the same thing over and over. Where's the 3rd act?" Many of your examples, Sauromuge Champaign, Heaven's Tower, Castle Zvahl at least had a 3rd or 4th verse to them. You know, that part of the song where the mood kicks in and the composer delves deeper into the emotion of what the intro started? I don't see much of any of that in XIV's tracks, save for a few battle songs here and there.

And in a game as involving as an MMO, having a well-developed score, (especially if it plays constantly), is super important. I just don't feel that XIV's score is well developed. It goes somewhere, yeah, and I do like where it starts going, but then it just.... repeats.
